Squish, Splash, and Waft Lighting

Squish, Splash, and Waft Lighting

This series of interactive light objects by Viktor Alexander Kölbig aims to strengthen the relationship between object and user through light sources that not only illuminate the space they occupy but capture the users interest through a variety of unique interfaces and physical interactions like “smooshing” the smooth textile surface of the Seide lamp or stirring water in the Water Light to control power, color, and intensity.

Less is More Lighting

Less is More Lighting

“Minimal” and “chandelier” are two words rarely seen together but this design, created for Viennese crystal specialists, Lobmeyr, is a twist on the extravagant classic elegantly expressed through “less is more” styling. The One Crystal Chandelier achieves its minimal form with a cable ran through a curved tube with a single LED light at the end. A lone, dangling crystal is lit from below creating a powerful yet simple shimmer. A thoughtful design sure to be adored by lovers of classic and contemporary design alike.

Lamp Teaches a Lesson

Lamp Teaches a Lesson

This lamp, the second part of the Completing Absence series by designer Petra Schmidt, is more concerned with shedding light on the issue of energy consumption than trying to be a quintessential lighting element. To activate the light, the user simply pulls the slightly lighter end. The self-regulating lamp will shut off when the heavier luminated end reaches the lowermost position, keeping the user aware of time and inspiring behavioral change in overall energy consumption.

Energizing Neighborhoods

Energizing Neighborhoods

How can design be used to change and improve perceptions about shared spaces? Project Energizing Neighborhoods is a strategic addition to a city’s ongoing narrative with its outdoor spaces, created by developing on the existing typology of a park bench. Now multi-functional, you can get your fitness on while you wait for the bus. The human generated power is stored to light the attached streetlamp.

Luminous Pipe Lighting

Luminous Pipe Lighting

E-M – Electronic Melody Lamp is an awesome piece of creation that is made from biodegradable materials, LED and solar paneling. Besides being decorative and functional, I love the way you can twist and create magical luminous lines that are different everyday. Let your imagination get the better of you! Do I see an ostrich today?

Is He/She Thinking About Me?!

Is He/She Thinking About Me?!

Awww! I love the idea behind this design by Christian Sallustro… Aura is an interactive lamp designed to split into two identical and symmetrical pieces that allows two geographically separated people such as family members, couples, or friends to share their feelings through light signals. The user’s physical interaction with the lamp’s surface translates wirelessly to its counterpart with varying expressions of light that let the user on the other end know you are thinking about them!

This Lamp is Da Bomb!

This Lamp is Da Bomb!

This clever table lamp design by Luca Veneri offers an interesting,thought-provoking, and somewhat eerie way of lighting up a room. The mushroom cloud shape, that seems to expand before your eyes, was created using real fluid dynamic simulations to capture the cloud’s true form as closely as possible. An articulate design that is sure to attract a second glance as it builds a powerful symbolic connection with the viewer.

Lamp or String Theory?

Lamp or String Theory?

Totally intrigued by the Hydralamp. It has a unique cooling system that extends the LED bulb lifetime to 50,000 hours. The lamp is also an energy saver. It produces the same luminous power as a 20W halogen bulb but consumes only 4W. The lamp casing is made of anodized aluminum and tempered glass totalling 900mm high.

From Designer's Excess to DIY Shade

From Designer’s Excess to DIY Shade

Designers are constantly creating or making improvements on designs in order to help reduce others’ eco-footprints, but what happens when a designer studies their own usage and excess? The Funoos lamp by designer Roohollah Merrikhpour is one result of a designer looking inward. The designer stripped 6 plastic covers and slide binders from research booklets full of old projects, and then applied the pieces to self-locking straps to create an easy to make, mix-n-match, DIY lamp shade.

Romantic Magnetism in Light

Romantic Magnetism in Light

GEO Magnetic is quite an awesome lamp as far as design thinking goes. The basic lamp is a halo of light that glides up and down a steel rail, using magnetic attraction. The base halo holds a ball shape switch that looks suspended but is held in place using a fine thread. There are three levels of illumination and the electric current flowing into each section varies in intensity, this allows the spherical switch to shift its position to on/off.

Light of the Gods

Light of the Gods

The Helios lamp embodies elegance and intrigue. The light source is surround by panels that gently flow and curve up around, changing the direction of illumination. The two main pieces are made from flat plywood, cut to shape. They are moulded applying a 90 degree central axis torsion. Two pieces have mirrored moulds. In between is a matte glass elipsoid secured with a metal ring connecting the the two main pieces.

Atypical Lamp

Atypical Lamp

Gotta love this beatnik lamp design, appropriately named Atypical. The simple triangular shade directs light downward, highlighting its three tapered  legs. The cleverly positioned, triangular shape of each leg gives the illusion from any angle that a single, sharp beam of light is being cast directly from the center of the shade.

Lighting Repercussions

Lighting Repercussions

Consequence creates an intimate relationship between the user, requiring the user to become conscious of the lamp’s environment, it produces a unique interaction; if the lamp is ignored, a messy-waxy, inconvenient situation drips. Consequence can be used for a little over an hour without mess, guiding those using its light to spend their limited time wisely. The idea was to create a visual representation of the wasted energy that incandescent bulbs produce.
